so i got into college now i need a HT system. (1 Viewer)

[RichardH]

The standby suggestion around here for $500 is:

JBL NSP1 II
$180 at buy.com

Dayton 10" powered sub
$125 at partsexpress.com

That will be KILLER for a dorm room.

 

[TedLee]

so the common conception is that the dayton 10 inch sub is better than the velyodyne?

 

[Mike.W]

Buy some nice Sennheisers for dorm life and save making a few enemies.

(Trust me -- been there, done that. I've certainly had my fill of listening to trashy KLH subs thrash about during my living in dorms.)

 

[AndrewErickson]

Save your money and buy speakers next year after you move out of the dorms and into an apartment with a larger living area. You'll thank me!

 

[TedLee]

yeah ok i think i might just go for a nice pair of headphones

and in the true fashion of a college student i'll do the altoids can amp and the senheiser hd590s.

but in case i do decide to spend monies and recommendations on what headphone amp to hook up to my reciever?

 

[kehi]

Yeah, those sytems from av123 rock and you will definitely not make your neighbors happy

crutchfield has last years polk speakers on sale. rti38, csi30, psw202sub, you can get all of these for 600.00. i have all polk speakers and they rock with both music and movies. these would be a steal at this price. you wont be disappointed. you have to give these a break in period, but they sound better the more you use them!!!
